My eyes are bleeding, but I’m done
Wednesday, March 28th, 2007No more on taxes. All I have to do with this stuff now is put it in a box and send it to my accountant. I’m so glad to have it finished.
So no more moping from me, and no more listening to moping for you. Tomorrow I start into the new second […]
Taxes, Green Magic, and Plot Clinic
Wednesday, March 28th, 2007I forgot—just flat-out forgot—one huge source of receipts: Stuff I bought via the internet, and for which I received internet receipts. All the other stuff is done, but I’m now going through right at 2000 messages in three separate accounts, looking for everything I spent via the web and dragging them all into their […]
Things are looking up
Tuesday, March 27th, 2007I am, I estimate, now about 75% of the way through my tax stuff, and if I’m diligent in the last 25%, I might be able to finish today. I’m not sure that I have ever finished early before.

So now that I’m done…
Tuesday, March 20th, 2007Okay. The Mac sending mail sound has just echoed across the computer, which means the finished Ruby Key is on its way to my agent, Robin. I’m pretty wiped out, but very happy with the book. It wrapped at 63,000 words, which was well within my target zone, the new ending worked […]
3:33 AM and Done
Tuesday, March 20th, 200763,199 words final count, an ending I love, and the rest of the book tucked away, too. The Ruby Key is finished.
One of those interesting statistics
Monday, March 19th, 2007While editing, I used a word that dinged on my consciousness as having been in the book too often. The word? Looked.
Scrivener has a word frequency counter that will tell you exactly how many times you’ve used a word—one of the things I have been missing and yearning for since the days when I […]
Pandababy speaks my mind
Monday, March 19th, 2007The question of honor in politics.
And an unapproved ad I really like.
Could any politician make a difference anymore? I don’t know. I like Obama, though.
